Beşiktaş v Kayserispor: European push meets relegation fight | OneFootball

Beşiktaş host Kayserispor in the Süper Lig on Monday, 19 January 2026 in İstanbul, with the top-five side eyeing European ground and the visitors trying to climb away from the relegation places.

Beşiktaş have controlled this fixture lately, winning 4-0 away on the opening matchday this season and 2-0 at home last term. The hosts sit fifth on 29 points, while Kayserispor are 16th with 15.

Kara Kartal arrive in rhythm with four straight wins in all competitions, including league victories over Çaykur Rizespor and at Fenerbahçe. Kayserispor are unbeaten in three league games after draws at Eyüpspor, against Alanyaspor and at Konyaspor.

Kara Kartal are without Tiago Djaló (suspended). Kayserispor list defenders Lionel Carole, Gideon Jung and Majid Hosseini as injured, Abdulsamet Burak as suspended, and midfielder Emre Çeltik as injured, leaving their back line stretched.

Kara Kartal average 1.8 goals per game with 52% possession and a 53.8% shot accuracy this season. Tammy Abraham has seven league goals and Vaclav Cerny leads their assists with six. Kayserispor score 0.9 per game and concede 1.9. German Onugha has six goals, while João Mendes has four assists. The hosts could look to press their attacking edge against a depleted defence.

A home win would move Kara Kartal to 32 points and could pull them closer to the European places. Victory for Kayserispor would take them to 18 points and could lift them out of the relegation zone, depending on other results.
